When you first open it

  1. Pick a folder

    Any folder of Markdown files works, an Obsidian vault included. Your [[links]] come along and keep working.

  2. Sign in to sync, or not yet

    Signed in, your notes sync across your devices and into a Space. You can continue offline and sign in later.

  3. Choose a Space

    Create a Space for the folder, or pick one you already belong to. One folder, one Space.

Niv updates itself: when a new version is ready, it asks before it restarts. What’s new in each version
